Artist Statement

Linny D. Vine’s distinctive contemporary paintings are known for their joyful energy. Cherry blossoms in full bloom, adventures in Volkswagen vans, warm curving paths that invite exploration, each building, tree, flower and being alive with it's own special personality. The hour of day and the time of season both captured at their fullest and most colorful.

Linny's work is often compared to the art of the Group of Seven, Emily Carr and Vincent van Gogh. Like these historic artists her inspiration begins with the visual world, its beautiful rhythmic patterns of color and light. Linny's unique style is distinguished by the way she uncovers the beauty of the unusual within the usual, then combines it with her imaginative narration to create paintings that dance with a life and joy all their own.
Linny’s early career as goldsmith/jewelry designer plus her experience in commercial photography contribute to the original perspective and strong design of her work. Whether Linny is painting en plein air or in studio, with oil or with acrylic, her expressive brushwork and unique vision of the world combine to create paintings that celebrate the wonderful character and joyous imperfectness of life.

Linny has had numerous solo exhibitions and been featured in important group exhibitions in public and private galleries across Canada and the USA. Her paintings are treasured in collections throughout the USA, Canada & Europe, and the list of Linnyland Collectors continues to grow.

Linny was born in the spring of 1960 in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, grew up in and around Vancouver, and has lived in Victoria BC since 1992.
